    I just got my recommendation. This whole world is new to me!

    I have sort of put off getting a recommendation but I finally went ahead and did it. . It was such a neat experience, I had never been exposed to such a selection. Walked out with an 8th of dank Bubba OG for $40, a free nug jar, pre roll and lighter because I was a new patient! This is so cool!

    Is R/O Water all that important?

    If your tap water is low ppm use it. Problem with tap is that all areas have different tap so you don't know what's in it without a test. Even if the final ppm value is within range one nutrient may be in much higher concentration than others. Hydro is weird in a sense that if there is too much...

    707 Headband Grow Journal (300 Watt CFL E&F) Fox Farm. NEWBIE

    I've been checking the trichromes with a microscope and I saw my first amber trichrome. Most are clear and about a third are white. How do I know when it is time to start flushing?

    707 Headband Grow Journal (300 Watt CFL E&F) Fox Farm. NEWBIE

    thanks for the compliments. I know I can add a few more CFL's but this is just a learner grow. I'm just going to let it finish out the way it was built then build a second grow using some HID lights. I am trying to gauge how much more time til I should harvest. Sadly SOME of the sugar leaves...

    707 Headband Grow Journal (300 Watt CFL E&F) Fox Farm. NEWBIE

    Do they really need another 30 days? Saw another headband grower chop them at about 60 days and hE was in soil. Shouldn't hydro be faster?

    Does anyone know what I am talking about?

    Thinking of R.O. water? You may want to think again.

    There are good things in tap water but there are also bad things. Chlorine and fluorine for example are added which plants don't like and can kill benefiial microbes in your soil or reservoir. Tap water also has things that effect ph adjustment and are more prone to ph problems. I would stay ro...

    Fox Farm Advanced Nutrient And GH Lucas Formula Cost/Gallon Breakdown

    I was bored this morning and did some calculations to help me decide which nutrients to use for my next grow. Thought one way to compare was to determine the cost per gallon. I followed the hydro schedule for fox farm and advanced nutrient getting 2 values. 1 for the first week and 1 for the...

    Controlling Ventilation Efficiency With Co2?

    I planned to build a very well insulated grow room (for my second grow) in a shed in my spacious backyard. I planned to line the walls with a high quality insulation to efficiently keep the room at optimal temperature without much heating or cooling. I live in Socal at the average temps by...

    Small Powdery Mildew Spots On Leaves 2.5 Weeks Flower

    Guys. This is my first grow. I have 6 plants under 296 W CFL using ebb & flow hydro. As soon as I turned the lights on to 12/12 I've been getting some powdery mildew. It's not a huge problem as there really are only a few spots on all the leaves but still I am worried it will spread and become a...

    Adjust PPM With Ebb & Flow With Waterloss?

    That's a great idea. What I ended up doing is cutting a piece of plastic and drilling holes in it. It fits up against the bulkhead ebb & flow fitting and is kept about an 8th inch above the bottom. So far I've been able to get the roots out of standing water with this change. When it comes to...

    Bulb and ballast questions..

    Guys. New to growing with HID lighting. I have a few questions.. Can you use a 1000w bulb w/ a 600w ballast? I know the reverse would be dangerous but I'm just curious if anyone has done that. Also, are the connectors from the lamp socket from the hood universal? In other words if I buy a...
